microsoft update vs windows update... huh?
today on the windows update site i noticed a new utility being touted by M$... microsoft update. M$ says this utility is for updating all microsoft programs and hardware (like office)... not just windows. Only thing is I've always been able to update office or the like through windows update... so what the hell is the point of this new online utility?

well this seems to be a basic question that can be answered...
Windows Update is exactly what its name implies, just Windows Update. Microsoft Update is newer service, it gets you all updates offered at both Windows Update and Office Update and may include other Microsoft software you have installed. btw, note that by communicating here, you are not talking with Microsoft but others in the world. so if you want to know for sure why Microsoft wants to do that, call them and ask them.
